The new technology is 10 to 20 times higher than the Fifth Generation (5G) networks, the Purple Mountain Laboratories announced Tuesday, January 4, 2022.

Accordingly, with a home-developed 360-430 GHz high-end wireless communication system, the high-tech laboratory in Nanjing has just achieved 6G-oriented 100-200 Gbps (Gigabits per second) real-time THz in the Asian country.

It was learnt China began its 6G research back in 2018, the same year as the United States (US), and 6G has been included as a priority in China’s latest five-year plan.

You Xiaohu, Principal Investigator of the laboratory, said that Terahertz transmission technologies are fundamental for 6G networks.

Xiaohu also noted these technologies would be widely used for realising faster transmissions and in new-type applications such as AR, VR and the metaverse, CGTN report stated.

According to Lab Principal Investigator, Terahertz technologies can also be extensively used in communication in space and between satellites and to eventually realise integrated space-earth-sea communication.
